While Warshaper is cheesy for Changlings, it is less so when you consider the existance of the Cabinet Trickster. It makes the Changling functionally identical to the Doppleganger, bar a few details like type, the immunities instead of resistances, and natural weapons, but they have the two important abilities: Detect Thoughts at will and Change Shape into any Medium or Small huminoid.
Change Shape is a drastic enough change to warrant things like Morhpic Immunities, +4Str/Con, and fast healing, as other classes also start getting impressive equipment and abilities of their own (+10 level, which is very close to the 'high' levels). Plus, you need to dedicate at least a few levels to rogue/bard to qualify, and another 5 to get the ability that makes it all click. Besides, now you have a tricky shapeshifter who is now capable of packing a nasty wallop themselves! Won't the people expecting the 'weak rogue' sterotype be surprised?![Devious :] :]](http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png)
For extra fun, after finishing Cabinet Trickster, use the Mindspy and use Thought Trick every turn on all those hapless melee types who fail their will saves!
